Heel slippage - Intuition liners in an Arc'teryx Acrux AR?

All - I have pretty narrow feet and decide to go with the Acrux AR boots. Despite being tightened down, I am still getting some heel slippage. Has anyone used the Intuition liners in this boot to solve this issue? If not, does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Look into ski boots fitting! Shims and mustache pads should do ya up

Thanks, Alex. I appreciate the help. 

I have a lot of days in the Acrux AR and one thing that I have found is that I always have to readjust my lacing on these.    I can't seem to get them tight enough when they are cold in the tent.   So I put them on and redo the lacing and strap after they warm up.   Have you been doing that?

no worries! I have silly narrow heals so I feel your pain. Intuition liners seem to help in my ski boots, but for mountaineering boots i bought the closest fit for me and added some padding and a heal shim and they are bomber now!

I have extremely narrow heels also, and while I don’t have any specific experience with your boots, I can recommend “High Volume” liners from Intuition to help take up some side-to-side room and to fill up the voids around your skinny-ass ankle bones. They won’t make the wrong boot fit perfectly, but they can do some pretty amazing things.

Personally I'm skeptical any Intuition liner I've seen would squeeze into the Acrux. The factory liners are more like thick socks. I've not seen the Logan in person, I guess that'd be their lower profile mountaineering liner.

If you just want to create volume in your heel you can try something like this:

Thanks, Calvin. I have been lacing up, then about 15 minutes later I tighten them down and continue from there. How long did it take you to break your boots in? I am trying to differentiate between new boot pains and fit pains.

Everyone - I appreciate all of the feedback and comments. I will try these suggestions and go from there.
